 What they say...

Nancy, I just had to let you know what a wonderfully energising and stimulating time I had with you this morning.  Our time together went so fast and we covered so much ground and shared so much. It was wonderful.I returned home and I became aware that I was experiencing a fascinating sense that my inner pot had been well stirred up and I felt I was sensing outwards, with no expectation but intrigued about how things will go for my creative juices.Your suggestions and feedback were invaluable. Whilst we were talking, I had a great sense of relief about needing to let go of my current position and to venture out on my own voyage of discovery.  I am excited about starting my journey. 

Before seeking Nancy's help, I had been frustrated with my efforts to paint for a while and had felt 'creatively stuck'. My first session with Nancy  proved such a buzz. As we talked about painting and creating art work, we discussed different ways to approach my work which I found really energising. I now feel much freer to experiment more and to explore how my acrylic paints work."  Peter
